1. My last Duchess’s Duke begins by bringing up the portrait which he starts reminiscing but they aren’t the most positive thoughts.

During the documentary‚ The Last Days‚ one speaker affected me emotionally and that was Renee. The anecdote of when she was taken from her home and was demanded to take only her most valuable items hit home. She decided to take only her bathing suit that her father had brought back from a trip he went on and it held so many memories‚ happy memories.
